I find PETA to be a bunch of snobs. Vegan snobs. They try to make us Vegetarians feel bad about ourselves because we're not as pure and holy as them, for they don't eat anything that comes from the animals. Fudge them.
They actually don't kill seals that young (white seals are baby seals). They wait until they turn grey (basically when they're teenagers) and then slaughter them.
I got the same email and another for signing the petition at one of their concerts as well :)
I basically agree with AmorarEsDeVivir on PETA though. I'm not overly fond of them, but they're alright. I couldn't pass up signing that petition though! At that time, I had recently written an essay for my language class against wearing animal fur, ahah, so I was all fired up on that subject.
Sure, if there's anything you're interested in, go for it. =)
I'm not a big fan of PETA. They go a little too over-the-top with some of the things they do. But, some of the causes are really good as well. The job I just started does a lot of work with environmentalist agencies, and while PETA isn't one of them, a lot of them do a lot of good and I'll be glad to work with them.
